OUR EDGE
Built by investors and developers, for investors and developers
In business since 1997 and run by people who create, hold, and develop Texas property themselves.
In business since 1997
You get owners who answer for the work — not a call center, not a rotating account rep.
Built by investors, for investors
Moat was started by note investors and land developers — people who create, hold, and develop, not career servicers. So we chase loan performance, not just servicing fees, and run your portfolio the way we run our own.
HOW IT WORKS
Three functions, one monthly fee
Payment collection
Borrowers pay by bank transfer (ACH), debit card, check, or the online portal. Late fees are charged exactly as the note says.
Escrow administration
We hold escrow for property taxes, hazard insurance, and HOA dues — set aside monthly and paid on time, so nothing lapses.
Reporting and compliance
Year-end tax forms (1098 for borrowers, 1099 for you) and monthly borrower statements.
WHY MOAT
Built around Texas and only Texas
FDIC-insured trust accounts
Client funds are held in FDIC-insured trust accounts, separate from ours. We remit your principal and interest to you and pay escrowed taxes and insurance to the county and carrier.

What our lenders are saying
"I've been selling houses on owner finance for about 10 years now and Moat Note Servicing is the best. They are very automated. For clients like me who are really deep in the business, they do some of the more advanced things that other companies won't."
